electrical drain
 
what is the easiest way to diagnose where i am getting a energy drain? as of now i have replaced my battery and got to use it once before it decided that it wasnt going to work anymore. so im in desprite need of help on how to figure out where i am grounding out my electricity?

Use an ammeter to measure current from the battery. Then start pulling fuses & see which one stops the drain. That will narrow down the possibilities.

Some multi-meters have pretty low capacity for measuring current. You might want to start with a test lamp in series with the battery. Just in case your draw is large enough to blow a fuse in your meter.
